Assalamu ‘Alaykum-

As everyone has heard by now, there is a severe crisis going on in Haiti right now after the devastating earthquake there. Thousands upon thousands of people have lost their lives, and there are over one million facing extreme difficulties in receiving food, water, and medical care.

We encourage everyone to help however they can. We begin first and foremost by praying to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala to alleviate their suffering and rescue them from this crisis. Secondly, we encourage everyone to do their best in fulfilling the rights of those in need by helping in any way they can.

Islamic Relief has taken the initiative to start a $1 million aid campaign and also dispatch emergency aid workers to Haiti. If you would like to donate, please visit their website and make a contribution for whatever amount possible: Islamic Relief: Haiti Earthquake
